Startups take risks larger businesses often won't take. Entrepreneurs create new industries and reinvent existing ones. They imagine a world that's better and transform ideas into world-changing ventures.

Between 2004 and 2011, Australian startups contributed $164 billion to the Australian economy - that's nearly 40 percent of the value added to the economy over that period.
